    Sorry - manners.

    Good morning all - off out to sow a few lettuce seeds and deadhead the roses now.

    Morning all! image hope everyone is well, mind that back Clari!

    Its a grand day! A little bit of a back story for you, on election day I had a phone call from my boss's saying someone had made a serious allegation against me and that I was suspended on full pay pending investigations. The allegation was totally untrue and a group of people had gathered, my boss included and divided that I didn't fit in and they would try to get rid of me! All this whilst my husband was ill and my grandfather passed away!

    So for over three months I have had financial insecurity and the feeling that I have been ganged up on and bullied. Well yesterday I had my second part of the investigation. Witness was called and got her story wrong! Rest got dismissed as a witchhunt!

    I have to say I put my mothers training to good use, well spoken, polite and with an English degree, they failed, I won! Dove has supported me throughout and she's amazing, so as the kids say.....big up Dove, Nuff Respect!

    So I still have my job, but in a different department as I shouldn't have to work with that manager again! Lord knows I never want to work for the company again but needs must until I get something else.......

    So please fellow forkers if I was drinking brandy coffees and standing on the kitchen table yesterday shouting "I'm king of the world.........!" and today I'm buying some plants! image phew.......holding that lot in for three months!

    Have a great day all and thank you for being an enjoyable distraction from my troubles!
